Comments:- Recording of a performance at the Edinburgh Festival (21 August 1957). Accordingto «Radio Times» (August 16 1957 p.39, August 23 1957 p.34) «La Sonnambula» was broadcast on the BBC Third Programme on 21 August 1957 and on the BBC Home Service on 26 August 1957. According to the cast lists given in «Radio Times» the role of Lisa was to have been sung by Maria Luisa Gaviola on 21 August and by Greta Rapisardi on 26 August. This role was also assigned to Greta Rapisardi in all performances in «The Edinburgh International Festival 1947-1996» by Eileen Miller (p.187). The website of La Scala gives (gave?) Edith Martinelli as singing this role in all performances (as indicated above). The performances on 29 August and 3 September 1957 are reviewed in OPERA October 1957 p.633. According to Dyneley Hussey in «The Listener» (September 5 1957 p.367) «It was all too evident in the first broadcast of La Sonnambula that Mme Callas was doing herself less than justice». It is claimed on Divina's website (click link below) that the recording on their CDs is in stereo but this seems unlikely. The BBC broadcasts were transmitted in mono on medium wave and FM. So if this recording is really in stereo it must have been made in the theatre by someone or by an organisation (BBC or EMI?) with a stereo recorder. Alternatively, it could be a mono recording which has been electronically processed to give a stereo effect. The Columbia studio recording of the same year was in mono but later released in artificial stereo on EMI SLS 5134 http://www.divinarecords.com

This recording is reviewed in the following publication:-

Opera Actual (Barcelona) - No.74 octubre 2004 p.83 [JV]

Comments:- The recording issued on the «Living Stage» label appears to be a recording of a performance at the MET in October or November 1972. The partial cast listed by «Living Stage» is Renata Scotto (Amina), Nicolai Gedda (Elvino), Bonaldo Giaiotti (Rodolfo), Colette Boky (Lisa), Giorgio Tozzi (Alessio) and the date is given 17 October 1972 (the first performance of the run). According to the MET online data base Colette Boky did not sing in any of the performances (in October or November 1972) and Giorgio Tozzi did not sing Alessio but did sing Rodolfo in some performances. Scotto and Gedda sang in the performances on 17, 24, 28 October and 15, 25 November. Tozzi sang Rodolfo on 17 October and 15 November, Giaiotti sang it on 24, 28 October and John Macurdy (not mentioned by Living Stage) sang it on 25 November. The rest of the cast was as given above except that on 15 November Lisa was sung by Betsy Norden and the Notary by Paul Franke. Amazon suggests that the recording was of the performance on 24 or 28 October presumably on the basis that Giaiotti is given a more prominent billing than Tozzi. Possibly the recording is a composite one made at more than one performance. None of the performances was broadcast. IF ANYONE HAS THIS RECORDING PLEASE SEND ME YOUR OPINION.
